Weekend at the Marina
We dropped Blake’s boat “The Force” into the water on Thursday evening the 13th. We had hoped for a nice sailing weekend, so we could sail with ‘Private Stock Too’ over to Pirates Cove, but it wasn’t meant to be. We headed out Friday and made about an hour of headway when the weather discouraged us from continuing with us turning around to head back to port. Private Stock Too made the trip reporting a nice sail there, but awful weather on their return.
We ended up keeping ‘The Force’ in the water for the weekend, though the weather really wasn’t ever good enough to sail it. Carol did take it out for about 10 minutes, but the current was too much, so she came back to the dock.
We still had a great time at the marina. Conrad and Roxanne made it over from Louisiana to hang out on their boat, so they joined us for BBQ pulled pork that Carol made on Saturday.
Carol’s parents made it down to join us for dinner as well. Brice ,then Ken and Sherie (Private Stock Too), showed up for cocktails with Ken bringing his guitar for some impromptu Karaoke.
We finally called it quits about midnight. Carol, Blake, and I stayed on Monomoy for the night and headed home this morning for coffee and breakfast.
We didn’t get any real sailing in over the weekend, but we still had a great time. Now if we can just dodge these upcoming tropical cyclones, then perhaps we’ll get another chance at sailing to Pirates Cove.
